Reportedly, he is upset over the alleged derogatory comment made by Barbara about the Amazon employees.

As the news came out, James Bond franchise fans have shared their opinion.

One of the Reddit users wrote - “So shocked to find out that Jeff Bezos can't handle criticism. Who would have ever thought?”

Worried about the quality of the James Bond franchise, another internet user wrote - “I would fully trust that she called them that because they were more concerned about the speed and profitability of the next Bond above quality, to the point that new Bond material will be just as unimportant as whatever Star wars spin-off Disney are putting out this week. She can't have expected any differently though.”

“Pathetic. She's completely correct. These dipshits are going to run the brand into the ground in record time. Like, she's the only reason we don't have a horrible "Young Bond" franchise starring Tom Holland right now (he literally pitched this...), but all bets are off with her gone,” wrote a Reddit user supporting Broccoli.
